Assistance Needed: Setting Up ARK Ascended Cluster in Pelican Panel (I Know, But I’m Desperate)

[eager notch]

Hello,

I’m trying to set up an ARK Ascended cluster on Pelican Panel but am facing issues, and I would appreciate any guidance.

What I've Done:

• Environment:
  I have multiple ARK Ascended servers on the same node, all using the same egg. I’ve enabled transfers between them.

• Cluster Directory:
  I followed this Pterodactyl guide and applied the steps using /etc/pelican/asa_cluster as the cluster directory.

• Mount Configuration:
  I updated /etc/pelican/config.yml to include:

  allowed_mounts:
    - /etc/pelican/asa_cluster```
  
  Afterward, I restarted `wings` with:
  
  ```bash
  sudo systemctl restart wings```
  
  

• Permissions:
  I ensured the directory /etc/pelican/asa_cluster is owned by the www-data user:

  sudo chown www-data:www-data /etc/pelican/asa_cluster```
  
  

• Server Settings:
  All servers have the following settings in GameUserSettings.ini:

  [ServerSettings]
  NoTributeDownloads=False
  PreventUploadSurvivors=False
  PreventUploadItems=False
  PreventUploadDinos=False
  PreventDownloadSurvivors=False
  PreventDownloadItems=False
  PreventDownloadDinos=False```
  
  

• Cluster ID:
  I used the following startup command:

  -NoTransferFromFiltering -clusterid=myid -ClusterDirOverride="/cluster"```
  
  

The Issue:

The cluster is not working, and the mount didn’t seem to function as expected. I made sure to target /cluster instead of /home/container to avoid permission issues.

Request:

I’ve already asked for help in the Pelican Panel Discord, but it seems no one has dealt with this specific problem. Could anyone with experience setting up ARK Ascended clusters on Pelican Panel help me out?

Thanks in advance!

I already explained that because no one was able to help me and since this is a larger community I hoped that someone has dealt with this problem, even if it is in pterodactyl (I would just have to adapt the solution)

Please explain the issue you're experiencing in as much detail as possible. Preferably with error messages in a text format or paste link to logs. Nobody can assist you without information that helps to understand the issue. Help us help you. Messages such as "doesn't work" or "i need help" will most likely be ignored.

anyway I already deleted that panel, I will leave this post in case you also have the same problem with pterodactyl

The containers need access to the folder, not www-data.
Try making it owned by the pterodactyl user.
